Default BA 777 crash at Heathrow




----------------------------clip-------------------------------

The radio gear has improived quite a lot since then. We regulaly do Cat3
autolandings and damned if the airplane doesn't do them almost
perfectly. I mean the needles don't budge on the way down an ILS. Used
to be I could go donw an ILS almost as good myself, but we use auto
aproach so much nowadays that edge is disappearing.
Don;t know about the 380. I vaguely remember one having a runway
excursion, but I can't remember where.

Thanks for the info. I'll rest a little easier when in back end and
approach is to minimums in heavy rain at night.

380 may not have been current? You notice that things seem to get
recycled at later dates when somone just receives it and forwards with
no date of event.
